Kevin O’Connell: We’re confident we’re not far off offensively

With the 49ers and Chiefs losing on Sunday, the Vikings are the last unbeaten team standing in the NFL and they are in some rare company when it comes to how they’re winning games.

The Vikings have scored 10 touchdowns in their six wins and, per ESPN, they are tied for the third-fewest touchdowns during a 6-0 start in NFL history. On Sunday, the team scored its only touchdown to take their first lead of the day in the fourth quarter and they finished their 16-10 win over the Colts with 275 yards of offense.

After the game, head coach Kevin O’Connell pointed out near misses in the passing game and penalties as things that kept the offense from finding a groove and said that there’s strong belief that things are going to fall into place.

“I think our guys are very confident that we’re not far off,” O’Connell said. “The far off changes a little bit as you go, but I’m very, very confident we’ll get it going.”

The Vikings will kick off November with a trip to Detroit before moving on to face the Bills, Packers, 49ers and Falcons over the rest of the month. That makes it an ideal time for them to make a move from “not far off” to clicking in a way that will allow them to remain at the front of the NFC playoff race.
